DeathMotes is a simple mod that will say various things to party/raid chat upon death. The current list of comments are:
"has died of dysentery"
"A type error has occurred. Expected: heals. Received: nil."
"Array index out of bounds: damage exceeded HP"
"A fatal error has occurred in the process <name>. Wipe or Continue?"
"Attempt to index global 'hp' a nil value."
"attempted to divide by 0."
"Hey guys, watch THIS!"
"wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwsssssssssssssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddddddddddddd"
"Now that <name> is finally dead we can kill this thing...wait, did I say that out loud?"
"here lies <name>. peperony and chease"
"Man down!"

Additional suggestions are welcome.

DeathMotes starts activated, but to toggle it, use the following slash commands:
/dm on: Activate DeathMotes
/dm off: Deactivate DeathMotes

Per request, added a feature to also broadcast to guild. It's off by default, but to change this do the following:
/dm guildon: Broadcast DeathMotes to guild
/dm guildoff: Do not broadcast DeathMotes to guild

Ideally I'll make this preference persistent with a saved variable, but I haven't done much with lua, so when I get a chance to implement that I will

Seems blizzard took out the ability to seed the RNG from their LUA implementation. Apparently it was global to the entire client, and I'm guessing they were worried about other RNG-based things being predictably random. I haven't had much time to work on this lately, but it should be a quick fix and I'll try to push it out ASAP.

Would love to see an update...getting an error.

[2009/04/22 19:18:36-41-x1]: Deathmotes\Deathmotes.lua:6: attempt to call field 'randomseed' (a nil value)
<string>:"*:OnEvent":2: in function <[string "*:OnEvent"]:1>

Sorry for the late reply... I think Deathmotes should be working fine with WotLK. I just tested it out and it seems to be okay. If you're having any problems with it let me know, adding a PM helps, I'm more likely to see it. Thanks :)

Sure, I'll add a slash command to toggle that.

Edit: guild chat option implemented... lemme know if the way I set it up is consistent with what you wanted to do.

Hey... Odd question... But will there ever be an option to send it to Guild chat?
I wouldn't blame you if there won't be (Not too fluent in lua, but it looks like a rewite of the pathing), but I just think it'd be funny to print the messages to guild... (Well. At least how my guild goes and would be my main use of this addon. >.>; )

Heh, he never told me about that... I'll incorporate the better ones from that list.
